I love Marie Antoinette she had style and grace. She was extremely charitable woman. As she grew up and matured, she found ways to minimize her impact on the budget. Although it is true that she practiced in excess so did every single royal during her time as Queen, before her time as Queen and even before she was born. People accused her of terrible things that she didn’t do, exaggerated what she did do and the rest were things that others did and she got faulted for it. To have her compared with the Wookie who lacks style, grace and charity to me is just sad. At least MA was of royal blood so her lifestyle made sense. It is true, that her people suffered, but a lot of that was kept from her and as a woman she did not have much to do with the business at hand that would have stopped or curtailed it with that said what she did know she tried her best to help out and many people were better off because of her assistance. Even though Austrian she embraced France and added mightily to its culture to the point that a lot of the things that the French are incredibly proud of come from her and her time as Queen. Michelle is a terrible woman she has done nothing but take, she has not done anything of value to this country other than demean us for being fat. Seriously there is no comparison.

Perfect! Let her and her security detail tie up traffic for the .00001%ers that voted for her hubby. I hope dickboy flies in every weekend to visit. Should pretty well destroy what is left of their economy and at the very least ruin their vacations. Enjoy

If this story is about the Wookie,why is BO on a bike? Oh wait they look the same . maybe it was Photoshop. After the big party at the Black House May 28th, they can all go on a world tour till 2016. Spend, Spend, Spend..Hey if we need more money ,we can print it and raise taxes. It good to be King!

Send her to Kenya, she can help out Barack’s relatives with their charity, plus there she can wear a crown and be the queen bitch of some village since she would be the only one who has all her teeth and can wear shoes without falling down….

I find it interesting that the 0s supposedly pay for their own vacations, other than AF1 and security. I recently read their net worth was something like $10,000,000 and they can afford vacations of this magnitude. Housing alone is in the millions on these freeloaders vacays;). Can we say thugs?

Wow – I guess I just live dangerously, but there is no way on God’s green earth that I would be caught DEAD on a touring bike with a helmet. Racing bike, maybe. But just lolling around the bike paths with a piece of styrofoam strapped on my head? haha not this chick. Sorry, I have standards! And I would never ride a doofy bike like that either! It needs a little basket with plastic daisies strapped on the front!

(And YES, I am in favor of helmets for children, but that’s because they don’t practice good safety skills and their brains are not fully developed.)

I wouldn’t wear one either. Maybe on a motorcycle, but never a bicycle. Cripes, I lived most of my childhood on a bike and I took some mighty falls but the only injury I remember was to my butt… and a few hard knocks to my nether regions when I slipped onto the bar. Never made sense to me that girls’ bikes don’t have a bar and boys’ bikes do. Isn’t that the opposite of the way it should be?

I can understand some people not wanting to wear a helmet on a bicycle, but the way I ride, I always wear one. Having broken a number of helmets over my head on both motorcycles and bicycles, it’s a requirement for me.

My last head injury was on my mountain bike, practicing for a race. Tore the helmet to pieces, and it was brand new. Best $75 I ever spent. Even with a good quality helmet, I had a mild concussion and a detached retina. The emergency room doctor kept asking what kind of truck ran over me.

If you feel you don’t need a helmet, you’re obviously not going fast enough.
